Translator: 549690339
“Aunt, you… calm down… don’t worry, 1 won’t say anything… just let go, it hurts so much…”
Lily Gray thought Emma Shaw had gone crazy. She had heard tales of twisted affairs among prominent families, but she never expected that she would encounter one so soon.
“Calm down? Fine… I’ll calm down. But remember, don’t you dare say anything.
If you do, I’ll make you pay!”
Seeing the fear etched upon Lily Gray’s face, Emma Shaw knew her threats had worked, and she triumphantly released her grip.
Emma scoffed, “Just like that other woman, a pretty face but no backbone.”
Lily Gray didn’t pay attention to her words, as soon as Emma released her, all she wanted was to go where people were – she couldn’t bear staying here any longer.
Forcing herself to stand, a sharp pain from her lower abdomen tore through her body.
Lily Gray didn’t know why her stomach felt this way; her legs were barely able to support her. She could only lean on the railing for support.
Enduring the pain, she slowly made her way to the staircase.
“Lily—”
At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from below the stairs.
Following the sound, Aidan Lucas’s tall and straight figure appeared at the bottom of the staircase.
“Aidan…” The moment she saw Aidan Lucas, her worried heart finally settled. Lily Gray felt a lump in her throat, tears welling up in her eyes uncontrollably. At that very moment of relaxation, a sudden force slammed into her back, thrusting her violently down the stairs.
It was Emma Shaw, she had actually…
“Lily—”
Aidan Lucas watched in horror as Lily Gray tumbled down the stairs, her delicate body crashing onto the solid wood steps.
His breath caught, Aidan instinctively moved forward, trying to catch her before she fell further, but even with his timely reaction, he could only intercept her halfway down.
“Aidan…”
Just moments ago, she thought she was facing certain death.
“It’s okay, I’ve got you now.”
Holding the bruised woman in his arms, Aidan’s fury simmered beneath the surface, yet as he faced her, he continued to comfort her gently.
Blood streamed from a gash on her forehead, with more visible on her arms and elbows from the collision.
The sight of her bloodied state made Aidan’s heart race. He held the woman in his arms tightly, watching as her once rosy face drained of color.
Fear and pain had pushed Lily Gray to breaking point, and in that moment, her emotions erupted.
“Aidan, it hurts so much…”
Tears streamed down her face like broken pearls. Even in her tearful state and barely able to speak, Lily Gray’s eyes remained fixed on Aidan.
Within them, full of trust for him.
Aidan gently caressed her face and bent down to plant a kiss on her forehead, avoiding the wound.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“…” She didn’t expect him to joke like this, even in times like this.
But what could she do?
That single sentence from him suddenly made her feel like the pain was somewhat bearable.
“Husband…” Following his cue, she reached out with her last ounce of strength to grab his suit’s lapel, “My stomach… there’s so much blood….”
